Moving to Oregon

When moving to Oregon you will quickly discover a remarkable land of great changes. From the rugged Oregon seacoast, to the high mountain passes of the Oregon Cascades and in the stony lava beds and Ponderosa pines of the high desert, Oregon's natural beauty is here for all to enjoy. Oregon is located in the Pacific Northwest area of the U.S. and ranks 10th in size among the 50 states. It had land borders with Washington to the north, Idaho to the east and California and Nevada to the south. Its western border meets the beautiful Pacific Ocean, and is home to one of the most diverse climates of any U.S. state, with desert, glaciers and prairies to large forests in the north and south of the state.

Immerse yourself in the outdoors in our high desert region, where snow sports, water sports, hiking, camping and hunting are favorite activities. Oregon's wilderness areas, national forests and Crater Lake, Oregon's national park are all favorite recreation destinations.

Although the region was hit hard after thedot com bubble burst, it has since recovered and has recently been targeted by biotech companies moving to Oregon for the local high tech resources. Other large and well-known employers outside of IT include FLIR systems, a leading defense and Electronics Company and Nike, the worldwide sports brand.
